He Who Is To Come: Jesus Is Coming Back
As followers of Jesus, we live in the tension of the already-not-yet reality of the gospel. Jesus has already saved us, and we are now a part of an eternal kingdom, but yet we still live in a broken world in the midst of the consequences of sin and the sadness of death. However, we have a hope that will not disappoint, and His name is Jesus.
In Revelation 19, we see Jesus, called Faithful and True, riding a white horse and wearing many crowns; the righteous Judge who disperses the perfect justice throughout the world. In chapter 21, this King of kings and Lord of lords describes a new heaven and new earth where God’s dwelling place will be with His people. He will wipe every tear away from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain. He is heard saying “I am making everything new!” The Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, He will give to the thirsty without cost from the spring of the water of life. And yet, in the midst of the newness and restoration, His scars remain. For the joy set before Him, He endured the cross, and on that day, we will see the culmination of His joy and ours. Our scars, our light and momentary troubles, will result in a weight of glory and eternal joy which far outweighs them all.
Jesus has come and has given us eternal hope that is birthed in our salvation and will be fully realized when we see Him face to face. It is this promise that gives us strength and hope for today. In this world, there will be trouble, but take heart! Jesus has overcome the world. He is with us today right where we are. And He is coming back — He’s already on the move.
Prayer: Jesus, let us remember the nail scars in your hands and praise you today for who you are—as the hymnist wrote, “strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow”— the One who was and is and is to come. Let the reality of heaven stir up our hearts to worship and propel us to action for those who do not know you yet. Amen.
